unable to login to APIC2 and APIC3 in cluster

[Ramu Gajula]

Hi Everyone,

I have a cluster of three controllers. I am able to login to only APIC1 in it. while accessing APIC2 and APIC3 it says login incorrect.

I tried to access the controller through GUI using the  oobmgmt ip address of apic1. I don't see any leafs and spines discovered here including other controllers. I have waited for a long time thinking that fabric discovery is in process, but nothing happened.

I tried to recover the password of apic2 and  apic3, but no luck. still the controllers throw login incorrect message. 

Please help.

Hi Everyone,

I sorted out this. 

when i restored apic1 to factory default, it lost connection with all the nodes in fabric as the new fabric is initialized on apic1. So, when the new setup script is run on apic , you need to reset leafs and spines as well. or else will have the old fabric settings and wont be discovered.

I have restored all the other leafs and spines to factory default ans they joined fabric along with apic2 and apic3.

now i can access apic2 and apic3 as well.
